Hello,
I am trying to automate my HA backups and I imagine there is more than one way to do this. I am going to try and run a script that will be then executed by the Scheduler integration which is available via HACS. My goal is to get as close to as complete backup as possible of everything in HA. If anyone can tell me how to fix I would appreciate it.
HACS → Auto Backup
OR Gogle drive backup found here: GitHub - sabeechen/hassio-google-drive-backup: Automatically create and sync Home Assistant backups into Google Drive
no need to reinvent the wheel 
To start thank you, but I am not a google fan and don’t use Chrome or any of their products. I simply don’t trust them. That said I was thinking maybe I could somehow back up to my Dropbox account. I think I looked into HACS Auto Backup, but I thought I had read reviews of it not being a complete product. I’d have to go back and check again. For now if I can fix the script that would be great
There’s a list of automated backup solutions here https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os/#copying-your-backups-to-another-location
I use the Samba backup addon to backup to my NAS. Works flawlessly.
I use the automated Google Backup solution:
appreciate the suggestion but I don’t use Google products
I use the google backup too, but do a rsync of my backup folder to a S3 site.
But there is also a Dropbox backup app, in the list from tom_l
+1 for the Samba Backup add-on. Mine saves to a local NAS, which is then backed up outside of HA into private/encrypted Amazon S3 buckets using the NAS’ built-in cloud backup tool. Not quite 3-2-1 backup strategy since HAOS also runs as a VM on the NAS, but close enough.
For those who trust the evil Microsoft monopoly over Google, you can use this same Samba Backup add-on to copy your HA backups to a Windows PC file share in place of the NAS…
